Many communities to gain by election of Boucher to state Senate

It is often said that one person's loss is another person's gain. In this case it is one community's loss is another community's gain. Norwalk has lost state Rep. Toni Boucher to a higher office.

Toni is now running for the state Senate in the 26th District and, when elected, will be representing Wilton, Westport, Ridgefield, Bethel, New Canaan, Redding and Weston.

As a Norwalk resident and one who has had the true pleasure of watching Toni work for us, interacting with our community and being a part of the Norwalk family, I know how great that loss will be and what a wonderful and tireless representative those newly represented communities will have gained. But in a sense we will not be losing Toni. Every-thing that Toni does, all that she represents and stands for is always good for all of Connecticut.

When Toni Boucher gets elected to the Senate, she will be able to work for a broader range of constituents. And work she will. I wish her well, knowing she will continue on her path of unparalleled service to our state and congratulate all those who are about to gain a senator with high moral values, unquestioned integrity, and a tireless work ethic.
